"I think Heller may have done more to set president than most imagine. USSC cases on the 2nd ammendment are very rare. We may not see another for 50 years."

I don't know how to respond, my friend.

Didn't the USSC come within *two* votes of redefining the *meaning* of the 2nd Amendment not too long ago?
Yea they sure did, *2* votes.

Example: a year ago, maybe two here in WI a state wide smoking ban came up before the R controlled senate.
Was defeated.
2008 elections threw out the Rs, gave the D's a majority.

Monday WI's Gov Doyle {spit} will sign the *new* state wide smoking ban!
Shazam!
Oh yea and the greased eel plans to do it in three cities.
Great photo op, huh?

Won't get into the real anger brewing over [that] asinine move.
Will say the rage has manifest in a serious recall effort starting with the clown who wrote and sponsored the AS bill.
An analogy, if you will.

NOW, we have zerO.
zerO has both houses, a super majority in one IIRC.

zerO has to choose an individual to fill the vacant seat on the USSC.
When It makes its choice, let me ask you: Where would you guess the chosen USSC individual will fall concerning our 2nd Amendment?
All that'll be needed is a "case" making it all the way to the USSC, eh?
Child's play, that "case".

These days --more than ever before-- never say never.
Our beloved constitution's seriously been weakened, so far has withstood fierce attack(s) and we [should] all know it, too.

As for your 50 year prediction?
I can't agree; however, I *pray* (really) you're correct & I wrong.
That kind of bias doesn't happen very often for me, either. :^)

I think Heller may have done more to set president than most imagine. USSC cases on the 2nd ammendment are very rare. We may not see another for 50 years.

The 9th Circuit Court just incorporated the Second Amendment as an individual right in the Nordyke decision. The Supreme Court will be asked to grant cert to incorporate the Second Amendment next term, IMHO. Stare decisis no longer prevails. Circuit courts are now in conflict, probably one of the most common reasons that they take a case.

P.S. Obama is only able to replace liberal geezers barring unforeseen circumstances. You wanted precedent, not president.

USSC cases on the 2nd ammendment are very rare. We may not see another for 50 years.

I think I disagree. We'll see lots and lots of them. They will atempt to effectively overturn Heller, or failing that, or possibly prior to that, they'll get the Heller ruling itself "interpreted" to allow as many restrictions as they can get away with.

But personally, I don't give a hoot. I can read, and what is so hard to understand about "right of the people", which Heller pretty well settled, or "shall not be infringed", which it only touched on.
